Last year i added a certain number of places onto iNat using shapefiles. They were mostly relatively small places for protected areas in my country, but also a few larger places with a high number of observations. It was mostly about me having fun with practicing Qgis and adding potentially useful boundaries (i actually use some of them to follow observations, and some have been used for collection projects).
I didn’t know that new places put a considerable load on iNat servers, especially -i remember reading- the checklists, which i naively activated on practically all of them.
My question is, would deactivating the checklist on these places be, in its little, beneficial to iNat’s servers? The checklist is not really needed for most of them, if they actively put an unnecessary load on the site i would happily deactivate it… if they don’t anymore at this point though, one could think, might as well keep it now that it’s already there. What is the case?
Also, i can trace all the place i created by now because i have the list of protected areas i used as a source, but i wonder if there is a way to search for the places one created directly.
